The Wizard of Birchroot Bridge
After Minalan the Spellmonger makes an agreement with Baron Arathanial of Sendaria to repair the strategically valuable Birchroot Bridge, Rondal newly made Mage Knight of Sevendor is sent out on his very first commission with only Joppo the Root to drive the wagon.

The plan seems simple enough, journey to Birchroot, set up camp and build the new bridge! However, the bookish wizard is beset with challenges, from bandits on the road and threats from locals, to midnight raids and even an assault that cannot go unanswered.

Will Rondal rise to the challenge and become the Wizard of Birchroot Bridge?

Story in anthology The Road to Sevendor.
